Crunchy Cream Pie*****

By

Kevin had a piece of this pie in 2009 when he had a opportunity to play Firestone. He raved about it, I was thrilled to find the recipe. This recipe makes 3 pies, I cut the recipe back to make 1, it was fantastic. Note to self...this is too good to ever make just one, we killed it!
